Ingredients

1 cup corn tortilla chips, broken into 1-2-inch pieces
8 large eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
1 10-oz. can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
salsa, for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs and half and half. Add some salt and pepper, but don't overdue the salt because the tortilla chips are salty. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat melt your butter and then add your onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly softened and translucent. After the onions are softened you'll add your tomatoes and green chiles. Add your egg mixture and scramble the way you prefer your eggs. Add your tortilla chips and continue to cook for about one minute. Top with your shredded cheese and stir it in until it's melted.
Serve with your favorite salsa and hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

I use corn tortilla chips for this recipe. I've had friends change things up and use their favorite flavor of Doritos. Add what you enjoy!

Make sure to drain your can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies. Using the can cuts down your prep time significantly, but if you prefer fresh tomatoes can be substituted.
